Episode notes
Real Prices Back To 2013
- UK house prices adjusted for inflation are back at 2013 levels, so real prices haven't grown for about a decade.
- Rob Dix and Rob Bence call this the 'silent property crash' that most people haven't noticed.
Market Far Below Long‑Term Trend
- The market is massively below its long-term trend line, producing a rare undervaluation opportunity.
- Sentiment is rock bottom, which masks the value and keeps competition low.
Use Leverage While Rates Fall
- Use leverage now because mortgage rates are falling and product choice is increasing.
- Combine cheaper borrowing with rising rents and undersupply to lock in improved yields.
